Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #38 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: God as Cratior and Preserver, praise to; Lord's Day; Praise hymns of genearl praise; Sabbath; Worship hymns of opening; God as Creator and Preserver, praise to Lyrics: 1 Another six day's work is done,
Another Sabbath is begun;
Return, my soul, enjoy thy rest,
Improve the day Thy God has blessed.
2 Come, bless the Lord, whose love assigns
So sweet a rest to wearied minds;
Provides an antepast of heaven,
And gives this day the food of sev'n.
3 Oh that our thoughts and thanks may rise
As grateful incense to the skies;
And draw from heaven that sweet repose
Which none, but he who feels it, knows.
4 With joy, great God! Thy works we view
In various scenes, both old and new;
With praise we think of mercies past,
With hope we future pleasures taste.
5 In holy duties let the day
In holy pleasures pass away:
How sweet a Sabbath thus to spend,
In hope of one that ne'er shall end. Languages: English

And they must drink or die.

Through all thy temple shine;
My God, repeat that heavenly hour,
That vision so divine.
4 Not all the blessings of a feast
Can please my soul so well,
As when thy richer grace I taste,
And in thy presence dwell.

Can my best passions move,
Or raise so high my cheerful voice,
As thy forgiving love.
6 Thus till my last expiring day
I’ll bless my God and king;
Thus will I lift my hands to pray,
And tune my lips to sing. Scripture: Psalm 63:1-5 Languages: English

I thought upon thy power,
I kept thy lovely face in sight
Amidst the darkest hour.
2 My flesh lay resting on my bed,
My soul arose on high;
My God, my Life, my Hope, I said,
Bring thy salvation nigh.
3 My spirit labours up thine hill,
And climbs the heavenly road;
But thy right-hand upholds me still,
While I pursue my God.
4 Thy mercy stretches o'er my head
The shadow of thy wings;
My heart rejoices in thine aid,
My tongue awakes and sings.
5 But the destroyers of my peace
Shall fret and rage in vain;
The tempter shall forever cease,
And all my sins be slain.
6 Thy sword shall give my foes to death,
And send them down to dwell
In the dark caverns of the earth,
Or in the deeps of hell. Scripture: Psalm 63:6-10 Languages: English

Thou art my hope, my joy, my rest;
The glories that compose thy name
Stand all engag'd to make me blest.
2 Thou great and good, thou just and wise,
Thou art my Father and my God;
And I am thine by sacred ties;
Thy son, thy servant bought with blood.
3 With heart and eyes and lifted hands
For thee I long, to thee I look,
As travellers in thirsty lands
Pant for the cooling water brook.
4 With early feet I love t' appear
Among thy saints, and seek thy face,
Oft have I seen thy glory there,
And felt the power of sovereign grace.
5 Not fruits nor vines that tempt our taste,
No pleasures that to sense belong,
Could make me so divinely blest,
Or raise so high my cheerful song.
6 My life itself without thy love
No taste or pleasure could afford,
'Twould but a tiresome burden prove,
If I were banish'd from the Lord.
7 Amidst the wakeful hours of night,
When busy cares afflict my head,
One thought of thee gives new delight,
And adds refreshment to my bed.
8 I'll lift my hands, I'll raise my voice,
While I have breath to pray or praise;
This work shall make my heart rejoice,
And spend the remnant of my days. Scripture: Psalm 63 Languages: English

This joy, to call thee mine;
And let my early cries prevail
To taste thy love divine.
2 My thirsty fainting soul
Thy mercy doth implore:
Not travellers in desert lands
Can pant for water more.
3 Within thy churches, Lord,
I long to find my place,
Thy power and glory to behold,
And feel thy quickening grace.
4 For life without thy love
No relish can afford;
No joy can be compar'd to this,
To serve and please the Lord.
5 To thee I'll lift my hands,
And praise thee while I live;
Not the rich dainties of a feast
Such food or pleasure give.
6 In wakeful hours at night,
I call my God to mind:
I think how wise thy counsels are,
And all thy dealings kind.
7 Since thou hast been my help,
To thee my spirit flies,
And on thy watchful providence;
My cheerful hope relies.
9 The shadow of thy wings,
My soul in safety keeps;
I follow where my father leads,
And he supports my steps. Scripture: Psalm 63 Languages: English
